Tuesday, May 8th

YIKES, ZOINKS, JINKIES! Ladies and gentlemen, we are loaded up with pitching options tonight. Just a quick glance shows that this is going to be a tough night to sort out the options. On top of that, we’ve got Mike Trout and company headed to Coors Field and a pile of weak pitchers to attack. I’m going to go ahead post the pitcher analysis early, and I’ll be back in a couple hours with the bats, man.

I see at least 15 pitchers that can be considered and I don’t think it helps you a whole lot if I just write 4,000 words of nonsense about 15 guys, with all of it ending on, ‘he’s really good, you should play him in some tournament lineups”. But that’s really the truth of the matter tonight. We had a very clear slate on Monday night, where it was easy to identify the top play, a small handful of secondary options and a couple of cheaper long shots.
